Goat Simulator

Deep Silver Nabs North American PC Distribution Rights

Publisher Deep Silver announced today that it will be distributing Coffee Stain Studio’s Indie cult hit Goat Simulator as a physical product for PC in North America. The physical version of the debut game in the Goat Simulator genre will be available at participating retail stores for $9.99 by mid-July, and will include the new patch 1.1 content.

The new patch content, which is now live on current versions and is free-to-download with the game installed, features new playable goats, the ability to ride bikes and skateboards, a new map, and local four-player split screen multiplayer mode. The patch also includes the new game modes Capture the Flag, Racing Mode, and Ragdoll Hockey.

It’s rather difficult to describe Goat Simulator except to say that it is exactly what it says it is: players take control of a goat and navigate a small sandbox environment, coping with physics-based gameplay that is buggy and broken by-design. It’s a truly absurd game that really needs to be seen to be comprehended, so you can watch us give it a try in this test chamber.

Goat Simulator originally released on steam and available in that format for PC, iOS, and Linux. If you think you may want to live a day in the life of a goat, check out our review of the truly unique title.

Nice that its getting a physical copy but its a little late now. Most people that want it have it. To people you haven't played it. Your need to at least screw around with it for an hour or two. For a game that isn't much of anything it is pretty fun.

I don't care whether people think Deep Silver is a "great publisher", based on what I've seen over the years, it's my belief if ANY successful Indie Dev gets with a big name publisher, it's only a matter of time before they go down the toilet.
